ADVANTAGES OF E-MAILS They help the teachers and students
maintain communication in an easy and entertaining way for both of them.Students can email concerns, questions,
doubts, assignments, readings, tests, presentations, graphic images, sound files, non-text files, etc.
By using emails teachers and students can have a very personal or individual communication with one another. Or they can also send emails to a listed group all at the same time.

ADVANTAGES OF E-MAILS Students can also use emails to contact an
organization or person from other countries around the world. They can use it to communicate with these
people so they can create a research project. Since all ESL students need to read and write
in English as much as possible to develop proficiency, the teacher can require more email reading work so they can enhance their skills.When the students send the text to the
teacher, she can be sure that she/he is going to receive a legible document.

DISADVANTAGES OF E-MAILS
Some students actually prefer speaking to writing e-mails or online conversations.
E-mails can be misunderstanding and confusing.For example, students can write e-mails to the
teacher as if they were chatting in Messenger, and they use sort of abbreviations that can be misunderstanding.
In occasions, teachers or students do not actually receive the e-mails. Sometimes they get received and marked as a
spam.

DISADVANTAGES OF E-MAILS
Sometimes e-mails can be limited. Some students do not have laptops
or computers in their homes, or they don’t have internet so getting the work done online can be a problem.Cost and access to technology may also
be troubling.

maintained by an individual with regular entries of commentaries. It serves as a publicly accessible personal journal for an individual.

DISADVANTAGES OF BLOGS There is no confidentiality as it is a public
forum. Since students have all the freedom to
express themselves, some commentaries might be misconstrued and that could be a problem. Since the student is responsible for his/her
words, they must express themselves smartly To use blogs, students need internet and
laptops or computers to have complete access to it. Cost and access to technology may also be troubling.
